Given current concerns about compliance with NPT obligations, it was all the more important to achieve the widest possible application of the additional protocols on strengthened safeguards: where those States applying comprehensive safeguards were concerned, it was not so much a question of taking on additional commitments as of giving effect to the latest stage in the evolution of the Agency's safeguards system.
Dadas las inquietudes actuales respecto del cumplimiento de las obligaciones dimanantes del Tratado, es preciso que sean muchos los Estados que concierten un protocolo adicional sobre salvaguardias reforzadas. En cuanto a los Estados que aplican un sistema de garantías generalizadas, no se trata tanto de aceptar nuevas obligaciones como de dar efectividad a la evolución reciente del sistema de salvaguardias del Organismo.
